With his horn lighting up with a Golden Yellow Aura, raising his helmet to the height of his shoulder, moving it gently from Left to Right, in that way the Magic took shape in front of Astor's eyes were two swords surrounded by the same yellow Aura as Astor , the swords were made of a complete Chrome Metal, it resembled a scimitar, Astor took the handle of the first with his Right hand and the second handed it to Marcus floating, he held the handle with his Right helmet and his Left was empty, Marcus looked at the edge of his weapon
""! How nice!""
Astor pointed his helmet at Marcus, with a smile that radiated confidence
""! In the Archives I read they said that you were an Expert in all kinds of Weapons and Hand-to-Hand Combat! Humiliate yourself in all that you are Good and then finish with You that is my Intention! 4 Years Just To Defeat Me You Have An Idea Of What It Was For Me!""
Despite Astor's complaints, Marcus only black with his head
""! I am not interested!, enough of chatter let's start at once""
Positioning himself in a combat position, with his two rear legs stretching from Left to Right flexing, bending his waist to the left, crossing his arms, the Right holding the Sword stretched horizontally and the Left leg at the level of Marcus's face. covering his mouth and nose, exposing his eyes.
Seeing this Astor smiled, his wings stopped beating and fell to the ground, when the tips of his hind legs touched the ground, his wings propelled him shooting towards Marcus with the tip of his Sword throwing himself at his face, Marcus neither slow nor Lazily, he set the Sword straight with the point pointing to the ground and smoothly parried Astor's thrust by crashing into the groove, both blades trembling from the force of the attacks.
The Sword of Astor was covered with a Golden Aura that culminated in the tip of the sword, Marcus seeing this, made his sword aside and bent his body back, from the Sword of Astor a Magic attack was fired and thanks Marcus's quick reaction dodged it without any problem, taking advantage of Astor's attack inertia, Marcus took with his empty helmet the wrist that was holding the Sword so as not to fall to the ground and regain his balance, bringing the tip of his Sword towards the Astor's waist, the Alicorn watted his wings and with a strong impulse from his legs, he took a powerful jump dodging the Sword, Marcus tightly held Astor's helmet so the Alicorn flew above him like a Semi Circle, falling behind Marcus, with his wrist caught by Marcus's free helmet he made another Espada appear in his free helmet and attacked Marcus with a downward attack looking for his clavicle.
Marcus intercepted his attack by reflecting it with his Sword from below that brought both Swords up from the shoulders of both Ponies. Astor and Marcus attacked at the same time and their Swords collided with sparks, with their eyes looking at each other, they were face to face, with a smile on his face Astor looked at Marcus who was serious, a Golden Aura surrounded his horn and Marcus knew his intention, throwing himself back giving a half turn and gave a jump that left him in the air, Astor attacked Marcus again with another attack of Magic that was going to collide with him in the air, this time instead of dodging Marcus hits the Magic Attack With his Sword and the attack was cut into two Pieces, Marcus's Sword was covered with a powerful Gold, when he fell to the ground flexing his legs from the impact, he passed his Sword close to the ground and a Golden Burst equal to Astor's Magic attack It shot towards him with more speed than the original surprising the Alicorn, when it collided with Astor it raised a little dust, when it dispersed Astor was surrounded by a magic shield without any scratch
Far apart from each other Marcus stretching his arm and spinning like a wheel
""! So, This is how things will be in this fight! You definitely want to assassinate me! ""
On the other hand Astor throne his neck
""! Oops you discovered me! ""
Marcus answered smiling
""! Well I don't think to stay behind! ""
Suddenly Astor raised his helmet
""! I have an idea. How about a bet for the loser and the winner? What do you say? If I win I will have your head as a trophy when I recover Las Pegasus she will be in one of my banners ""
With his raised eyebrows Marcus scratched his head
"" And if I win you disappear from my life, you will never show your face in these surroundings
This question made Astor chuckle
""As if that's going to happen, ¡First try to beat Me!""
Astor disappeared from his place leaving a trail of golden glitters, he appeared in front of Marcus with a flash on him, it had been an instantaneous transport, he attacked Marcus with two lunges trying to impale him with the Surprise effect, but Marcus's reflections were unique, still When not in battle position and with the helmets loose, he deflected both attacks at the same time, with the Edge of his Right Sword he deflected the Right Sword to one side and with his Left forearm he deflected the Left Sword hitting it in the groove, the edge of the sword caused a small cut on Marcus's left leg, in revenge using his bare helmet he launched a blow aimed at the Alicorn Bear that only hit a trail of Golden glitters
Astor appeared behind Marcus with an instantaneous transport and throwing the edge of his Right Sword towards Marcus's neck, the sword only sliced the air, Marcus dodged Astor's attack by crouching down, when the Alicorn saw this he attacked exchanging with his Sword Left, still on the ground, Marcus propelled himself with his free helmet, turning his body, deflecting the attack to the side with his sword.
Seeing this Astor again attacked using his Right Sword in a Descending manner looking for Marcus's head but the Pony with an impulse of his legs shortened the distance between them almost having him in front, he crossed his sword with the point down, towards his Left shoulder deflecting the edge of Astor's Sword, Marcus struck Astor's Nose with the handle of the sword
When he wanted to bring his Left helmet to his nose, he was caught by Marcus's Left Helmet, turning his body inside Astor's body leaving his shoulder at the level of Astor's chest, Holding Astor's Helmet his front leg passed through above his head leaving Astor's armpit on his shoulder, Marcus placed his right foot behind Astor's foot, exerted forward force in his grip on the shoulder and Astor for a few seconds saw the sky, the Alicorn above Astor's body. Marcus and hit his head on the ground,the Earth Pony's brown eyes looked into his eyesbending his head a little
""! If that's what the Actual you can do Against the Actual Me! You should better Surrender!""
Astor responded angry
""! Shut up!""
At the sides of Astor's two men and above his head, 3 Swords with the same shape but with a Blue glow appeared above him and flew towards Marcus, Marcus used his sword to deflect the first two Swords from Left and Right colliding edge to edge receding one when deflecting them. The third did not Dodge or Deflect, he brought his sword back holding the sword Straight placed his left helmets on top of the groove, the tips of both Swords collided, Astor's sword was broken into pieces by Marcus's Sword.
He did not move from his position and looked over his shoulders, the two Swords were levitating, he looked ahead where Astor was with a smile pointed at him. The two Swords turned and traveled towards Marcus, he dodged both Swords by crouching but as if they followed him they also went down, Marcus dodged them by pushing himself with his two legs back and regaining his balance while standing in front of the two swords that followed him, when they arrived at Marcus an exchange of blows happened, with only his Sword in his Right Helmet and nothing in his Left
He stopped the first attack with his Sword hitting Edges, he hit with an ascending Hook the groove of the second sword that went to his neck, the Third attack crossed his sword to the left covering his helmet Left clashing Edge again, he brought the Sword above His head and Deflecting a Descending attack, he took his body to the right avoiding another Sword, intercepting a thrust directed at his chest with the Groove drawing sparks from Both Swords, all this recoiling with each Shock.
The bright blue Swords fell back and began to rotate on their axis transforming into clasps, again both attacked, Marcus crossed his Sword towards his Left Shoulder using his free helmet holding the dull part, the first clasp was pushed aside, drawing sparks, instantly Marcus quickly turned his arm to his right side hitting the other clasp drawing sparks, he held the handle with both helmets, again crossed both arms to his left side and deflecting it, he brought his right leg back at the same time he made an upward attack holding the handle with both hooves against the clasp that was approaching with such force that the clasp was spinning above Marcus.
Under both helmets at the level of his shoulder, the Left Helmet released the hilt of the Sword held only by the Right Helmet, as an upward impulse struck it on the axis unbalancing it, Marcus crouched while another clasp passed over his, He bent his wrist leaving the edge up, he got up turning on his own axis with the annoying clasp in front of him, he held the handle with both helmets and dropped the sword on the clasp.
Marcus's attack hit the blue saw against the ground with such force that it bounced off the air but was frozen there and as if attracted by a Magnet it flew in reverse to the other Sword connecting against the pommel of the other Sword, they turned like a huge fence pouncing on Marcus.
This time the Pony did not defend himself, he dodged all the attacks while driving in reverse, he dodged an attack from the fence directed at his neck, pulling his head back, another directed at his stomach also pulling him back, the closes tried to embed himself in If left clavicle that Marcus dodged by swinging to the left passing in front of the Pony's Chest, he closed it, he tried to cut his neck again and Marcus dodged it by passing his head and waist underneath it, moving backwards, when he noticed this, he closed her turn. in the opposite direction and tried to attack Marcus again, in defense Marcus stopped retreating, he brought the sword to his waist as if he were sheathing it.
When the saw was about to cut him in two, Marcus turned with his Left foot away from the path of the saw that passed in front of Marcus's Back, when turn again drew his Sword in a Horizontal attack that connected the two Swords, splitting them in half, Behind Marcus a shadow appeared flying directly at him, the Pony noticed this, Astor tried to attack him from behind with his two swords forming an X, his face outlined a devilish smile
""! You must never give your Back to the Enemy!""
Marcus turned around to face Astor taking his Sword from both ends, he used it as a horizontal shield to stop the two Swords that collided with the groove while they took out Sparks, but the impact was accompanied by the Shock force of their Wings although the legs of Marcus withstood the impact, his back had hit the ground, Astor smiled when he saw this but that smile quickly disappeared when his swords had not managed to pierce Marcus and were stopped against his Sword, to the ears of the Alicorn came the Sore voice of the Pony
""Cooff! Tell me something I don't know, fool!""
Marcus deflected both Swords that had collided with his to the left, the movement took Astor's Swords to the left, removing themselves from Above Marcus, which by inertia were nailed to the ground, using this Marcus crossed his left Helmet towards his Right side clinging to Astor's right arm using it as a rope accompanying himself with his two legs he pushed himself up against Astor, while Marcus's Sword was directed towards the Alicorn's stomach, seeing this Astor's eyes hardened and his horn shine again.
Marcus noticed this, he let go of Astor's arm and crossed his Left and Right Arms with the Sword covering his Shoulder and Side and his Left helmet covering his face and head like a shield, suddenly he was hit several times and thrown to the side, he twisted two in the ground, using his Left Helmet as a Brake, Marcus clung to the ground that little by little stopped his body, repeatedly shook his Left helmet for the pain of that maneuver.
When looking at himself Marcus had suffered some slight cuts on his body that hardly even bleed, when he looked at Astor he saw that his Waist, Chest and Stomach were covered by 3 rows of bright Blue Swords that rotated around him like satellites covering it, there were at least 5 in each Row adding the two swords in their helmets plus other new Swords that had appeared on their Shoulders and Head, in addition to this a Golden Shield barrier was placed around Astor, while his horn lit up of a Golden Aura
It was an attack and its wings kept it floating, while a Golden Aura had surrounded Astor compressing itself in the center of his chest until it exploded raising a curtain of earth all over the battlefield, Marcus closed his eyes and raised his free hand to cover his face, los invitados miraban asombrados
""What's Happening, ¿I can't see anything?""
¡That Alicorn is Trying to Kill Him!""
""¿Can Anyone See You?""
""!This is without a doubt the Best of the Party¡""
When the earth began to fade, everyone was left with their mouths open when they saw Astor, la sorpresa de Twilight era mas que notoria
""¿What is That?""
His gaze seemed hardly affected by the amount of weapons he had around him, Astor after the explosion carried a Golden Circular Aurora that seemed to come out of his back and ended on the head of the Alicorn, this did not seem to worry Marcus who was rubbing his eyes with his right helmet after passing the sword to the left, when he finished he noticed that his left leg had a couple of wounds that let blood come out in addition to that his cape was destroyed, without any problem he took it tore, letting it fall to the ground, step his sword back to his right helmet and he looked at Astor the Alicorn gave a smile and nodded his head indicating him to come.
Astor lunged towards him but his eyes were shocked when Marcus also lunged towards Astor with even much more speed than him. Pony and Alicorn simultaneously attacked Marcus He launched a thrust that was Blocked by Astor's Right Sword and Astor launched a Lunge that was deflected by Marcus's Left Helmet, Astor tried to counter with his 3 blades but Marcus quickly went out of his attack range giving A vertical backward turn using his Left hand as a Foothold and when Marcus hit the ground he shot towards Astor connecting an Elbow to the Cheek of the Alicorn who glared at him, Marcus launched a Descending attack with the sword that was dodged by Astor and that when connecting with the ground left a cut in the ground again Astor and Marcus threw themselves at each other.
This time the image of both had disappeared, in the eyes of the spectators all they saw was the rapid movement of the two opponents followed by lots of sparks from the exchanges of attacks, for them the combat of both opponents happened in several places at the same time. At the same time, while hearing sounds of the clash of swords, the air being cut to the right and left, the explosions of Astor's attacks or the clash of Marcus's sword against Astor's Shield.
Many of the onlookers are confused, Sullivan couldn't help looking around confusedly.
"" What ... Wh-where are they, Does anybody see them? ""
Spike's eyes won't stop tabbing repeatedly
"" Do any of you see anything? ""
"" I'm Just Like Your Spike! "" Replied Applejack squinting
""! Thanks to Heaven that I decide on those Rags! "", I think Rarity disgusted
"" I don't want to see! "" Said Fluttershy Hidden
"" This is Great We Should Do This Every Holiday! "" Mention Pinky Pie Happy
"" Not Now Girls! Can Anyone See Something? "" Asked Twilight without taking her eyes off the battle
"" The Pony has the Advantage "", replying in a bad mood
"" Rainbow Dash? "" They all looked at the stick
""My eyes got used to the speed that I am able to see everything in slow motion"",closing her eyes annoyed
¡Whaaaaaaaat!
The Pegasus looks at Sonia in her seat, who follows different trajectories with her eyes and head
¡She Can Do The Same Too!
There was an impact and all the collisions vanished, the spectators looked towards the origin of that and Astor was flying backwards vertically as if he had been thrown, he quickly turned around balancing himself with his wings and he nailed his two swords to the ground to stop momentum, when it finally stopped Marcus appeared like lightning in front of him almost like this (\), with his free hand in front and his sword behind, Marcus nailed his hooves to the ground and stepped his sword back and forth in a descending attack letting it fall on Astor like a hammer, Reacting almost by reflex Astor placed his two swords in X along with two of his other swords placed on the X that formed a +, his 4 swords in front of Marcus's, the shock made it go back Astor and their Helmets trembling, their backs even one of the blades beginning to be cut by Marcus's sword.
Showing a face full of fury, the Alicorn's horn lit up as did his halo and little by little he regained his strength, seeing that Astor began to regain his strength and approach him during his struggle, which intimidated him the most. Marcus were the swords that turned like locks that little by little approached him, when in an oversight he looked how close they were, Astor used this opportunity and used his new strength to destroy the struggle, he raised both swords and let them fall down. vertically one behind the other Left and Right.
Marcus dodged the first descending Sword by moving to one side of the Right while the Sword passed by his back, and the second deflected it to the right with both his Sword and Helmet taking it by the handle, letting it continue its journey downwards, with its two unsuccessful attacks Astor turned on his Axis and gave a third downward attack with both swords, with the inertia of his previous attack to the right, Marcus held the handle with both Helmets with a quick movement to the left crossing the grip of their Helmets, He managed to put his sword between himself and Marcus's while his two Helmets held the handle tightly.
Retaining Astor's attacks was not difficult for Marcus, the problem was the blades that surrounded the Alicorn's body, some had already made small cuts on his Legs and Stomach but they were not serious, rather they were scratches but with the new strength of Astor and his previous attack had to be careful
!I Must Take It Off Me Or Provoke It To Use It!
Marcus's thoughts were interrupted when all of his sensors screamed danger, he managed to get out of danger range by backing off with 2 small bounces with each of his legs, followed by 3 blue swords embedded in the ground where he was before.
I forgot, I have to get rid of them too
He was about to give the third rebound looking at Astor when his sensors screamed again, from behind him, I do not cancel the rebound but I use inertia to turn with the foot previously destined for the rebound giving a half turn to face the threat, the place where he was about to bounce had been hit by a magic attack that raised earth, Among the raised earth was Astor's horn filled with a Golden Aura and to Marcus's displeasure much closer to it.
The shot came out of Astor's horn, the curtain of Earth disappearing directly at Marcus's head, Marcus dodged the Attack by literally bending his head to the right, a flurry of Magic attacks approached him, the first two cut them down at the half and then jump as the Gusts passed through him, Marcus' next move was literally to stick the tip of his sword in the ground and use it as a Foothold accompanied by the momentum of the fall to pass to the other side, again he changed his grip of the sword taking it with the lower part of his helmet and digging it out of the ground launched a horizontal attack.
The attack was not Stopped, Counterattacked, Deflected or Reflected but the attack went through Astor turning him into Gold dust, it was a decoy probably, it was not necessary for Marcus that his sensors tell him he already knew, he looked back and turned his body , Flying towards him with his wings was probably the real Astor who was looking at him with a smile, he raised his two swords at each end accompanied by the other 15 that surrounded his body, he began to turn in circles with a powerful speed placing his body vertically , it looked quite like a furious mini tornado that was pouncing against him, Marcus covered himself with the sword in a Straight form holding it with his Left Helmet as if that thin layer of Metal was a complete shield.
The twister hit Marcus's defense and the Sparks flew everywhere, the sound resembling the sound of a grinder cutting wood, the twister attack was much more effective than it seemed since some Wounds, Slashes or Cuts began to appear on the Arms, Legs, Shoulders, Chest and Near Stomach, if or if Marcus had to parry that attack at all costs or he would come out badly, with this in mind without a second thought, the tornado that had filled Marcus with cuts and The wounds were stopped at the same moment by Marcus's sword, placed vertically to the right of the tornado with his right leg back and his left bent forward to retain the weight of the attack.
Astor's blue Swords collided consecutively against Marcus's, The Swords were barely moving, the sound of the struggle between the two metals could be heard, but even so Marcus was still in imminent danger since despite the outside of the tornado echoed by the 15 swords was stopped, the Interior was still spinning, it was Astor who from the beginning had rotated inside the Twister in a reverse manner to his swords, Marcus had fallen into his trap and in front of him, the Interior of the reversal tornado was He stopped showing Astor, in each of his Helmets two swords appeared, with Marcus's sword occupied, Marcus's body was exposed and the two Swords descended on Marcus's body, more precisely on his entire side, opening two cuts over his body from which blood gushed out,one of the guests standing in the stands was Chitoge, with a worried face
¡Marcus!
From the bleachers a desperate cry was heard, Marcus's two legs gave way and little by little it seemed that his body was going to fall to the ground even his empty hand had released the sword, little by little Marcus's body descended until he was at the height from Astor's stomach, his legs fell and spread until they gave out and he fell to the ground
The Alicorn looked at Marcus From Above his head
""How did you think that a Pony would defeat an Alicor ...! Hhhaaahhggggaaahh!""
His face of happiness disappeared in its place his mouth opened as if he was trying to swallow air and his eyes were open, it was not to be expected since a whole helmet had literally stuck inside his stomach, that hoof was Marcus's, While both his legs had fallen to the ground, his sword was firmly holding Astor's 15 swords, Marcus quickly pulled his helmet out of Astor's stomach, brought his Left hoof back and gave a curved kick that was thrown towards the Side of Astor's body. Throwing it to the right over flying the ground, the 15 swords that were around the body next to its wings were opened, Astor used his wings to glide like an Astor plane above the ground while the tips of the swords were driven into the ground in syncing to Astor like the legs of a spider.
Astor launched himself into the attack furiously against Marcus with his two swords in each hand, the clash between them occurred, with his empty hand Marcus had disabled the Left sword holding it by the wrist while Marcus and Astor's sword collided
""! You will have to try harder if you want to defeat me!""
Astor just negotiated jerking his head from left to right in a full state of Cholera
""¡I SAID TO SHUT UP!""
The three swords that were on Astor's two shoulders and head like satellites appeared above Marcus's head ready to embed themselves in him, although that was the moment that Marcus was waiting for, with Astor in the air and he stopping it as if it were a stone in a stream, Marcus's Left helmet released Astor's Sword and Marcus's sword deflected Astor's Sword down to the Left, Marcus turned on its axis around Astor holding the Alicorn from the back of the neck hiding his body behind Astor, the places of Both changed and the one in front of the swords was Astor, who reflexively brought his Helmets to his face.
In the end the swords collided with something and were destroyed, when looking at Astor's shield that at that moment he had forgotten it saved him but did not save him from Marcus's left blow to his jaw, the blow hindered him so much that he fell to the ground hitting his head , was there still while the Aureole began to heal him little by little after 30 seconds when Astor managed to stand up turning in his place having a scene that irritated him even more, Marcus sitting on the ground in basket with his free hand on the ground and the sword resting on the shoulder gently, esto sin duda hizo enfurecer al Alicornio
""! Stop Playing this is a Combat!""
""! And you're losing! You said you trained 4 years in combat perfecting your skills to finish me off, no then what are you waiting for to show me the results""
Astor's eyes looked at the wound on his side
"" How come you didn't die? ""
Marcus I look the wound
""! I have been given worse things than this I will not die for the only blow you manage to give me! ""
This answer was enough to drive the Alicorn crazy with a vein sticking out of his hundred
""! You made fun of me! You ...! You made fun of an Alicorn! I won't forgive you! You made fun of me! Damn I won't forgive you! HAAAAAAAA, !""
With this roar, Astor's entire body was completely covered by a Golden aura with Blue details while the Aurora above his head was illuminated with an intense light, Astor's eyes turned Blue as sparks and Lightning streamed from them like a storm of just as the Magic around the horn of the Alicorn overflowed and Blue Rays came out from the tips of the feathers of Astor's Wings, while the ground around it cracked and all the cracks a powerful Golden Light emerged, before the gaze of the astonished Spectators
The 15 Swords that surrounded Astor like a satellite came out of their circular formation and were distributed around Astor with their blue glow intensifying, little by little Astor floated above the ground without even beating his Wings, with a small movement Astor disappeared from his place and appeared in front of the calm Marcus who opened his eyes in surprise, Rainbow Dash knew that it was not a transportation it was pure speed
Astor gave a powerful tackle to Marcus taking him over, his front legs encircling his waist carrying his body as he flew, this undoubtedly caught Marcus off guard, as he had said his 4 years without training were taking its toll, and he was even beginning to feel tired, luckily there was a member among the Legends who surpassed Astor in speed, this made him give a pained smile
!Compared to Sonia This is nothing! ¿However, where is it going?
As he looked behind him, he realized that the place they were approaching with so much speed were the bleachers, this froze Marcus and taking the air that his lungs allowed, he screamed
""¡MOVE NOW!""
Hearing Marcus's warning, all those present in the Stands left their places terrified, some even threw themselves to the ground, the Stands were covered with the Shield of the Island, as were the people but Marcus preferred not to take risks, Astor and Marcus collided against the Stands and the Shield received the impact, no one was injured and a small shadow of smoke rose, inside it was quickly heard the continuous sound of metal colliding and the sparks came out of the dust cloud disappearing it
With all the Spectators away from the Stands Marcus and Astor clashing their swords again, Marcus with his one Sword and Astor Along with his 17 Replicas, with Astor hovering above them Stairs and Marcus moving through all the seats, Dodging, Diverting, Crashing, Reflecting, Blocking were paired and the movement of the arms of both opponents were incredibly fast
Astor launched attacks consecutively with his 17 Swords, some attacks passed around Marcus and collided with the shield of the Stands, Keeping his concentration on the same target Astor and They watched Marcus move his body around the entire Grada, when Marcus could turned his head sideways to have a small picture of what was around him, this managed to get his concern, everyone was out of the stands and out of danger range, again this brought out a vein in Astor's hundred, Marcus did not He was just not focused on it but ignored it and could defend himself against it without problems.
Astor increased the amount of attacks from him, the increased attacks alarmed Marcus, his defense, Movement became much faster than before. From the view of the people around the stands the exchange of attacks between the Alicorn and The Earthly Pony looked like a lot of attacks colliding in the middle of both.
Marcus's sword had literally turned around him covering his entire body and taking his thrusts off him, not letting them pass to his sides so the stands would not suffer damage either, the one that if he suffered was his Right Arm which was beginning to burn. in each part of his joints, shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, the inside of his grip had started to sweat he had to find or make an opening or else his stamina would collapse
It was impossible to find a pattern between all those attacks they were completely launched at random with strong killing intentions but that was also his mistake, his attacks had some openings, they were small but they were more than enough, he defended his position a little more and lunged towards his Right, he quickly turned on his axis, turning around in the air, favoring his slim and somewhat muscular complexion, the Swords of Astor passed around him, Marcus's body was in profile, with the thrusts passing through the sides of his back, In front of his Chest and Face, Marcus had dodged Astor's lunges but he was not done yet, since as he predicted the consecutive lunges would rearrange and now go straight to his head, Marcus slid his Right and Left foot dropping downward hitting his entire body against the steps, the thrusts passed over him and with Astor's part cleared, Marcus lunged towards him, charged his sword towards the least Defended part of Astor his stomach seeking to cut the Alicorn in half.
But Marcus's sword collided with something that left its edge a few meters from the stomach, the same thing that protected the stands and the people was on Astor, The shield, with this Astor's perplexed face was filled with self-centeredness that disappeared when Marcus raised his face with a smile, he took the handle of the sword with both helmets turning his hips and exerting more force against Astor's body, in the same way that a batter with a baseball outside the field Marcus sent Astor flying through the skies With so much speed that it did not let him open his wings, the Shield that surrounded the island struck Alicorn's Back.
Marcus looked around everyone was looking at him with fear, he rolled his eye and went down from the stands and walked towards the battlefield, exchanged the sword to the left helmet and let the right rest, he looked up where Astor was descending with his wings and fell on the ground with his 4 legs spread with his 17 Swords, although now he was 10 some had been destroyed with the impact against the shield of the island and if he did not notice it, the aurora over his head had some cracks
""¡Well, we continue!"",sticks the tip of the sword into the ground and wears his helmet on his right shoulder
This made Astor recoil,as sweat fell from his face, it was not to be expected since he never would have imagined that Marcus with his weakened state would be so strong, not to mention that most of Marcus's blows were still engraved on him, his 10 swords were Downed, Full of cuts and another thing that also worried him was Marcus's sword
I don't understand, why can his Sword Be so Hard? ! It is supposed that that Sword was equal to Mine, ¿Then why with only one is it Capable of Equalizing Me?
""¡Come on Boy Here I Hope!"", changing his sword Helmet and stretching his right arm that still hurt
Again those words of mockery from the man who ended his family, he could no longer let a Pony humiliate him, an Alicorn, his horn was filled with a Golden Aura accompanied by its aurora, the Center of the tip of all Swords formed a small circle, one of them was placed in front of Astor's Horn while the other 9 Swords were placed around it, The blue Swords began to Shine, the first shot went out and all the tips of the Swords closed on the from astor's horn
A giant magic attack shot towards Marcus, the attack devastated everything in its path, the ground was eaten instantly, it was lucky for Marcus that the people in the stands were not behind him or they could be badly stopped even with the shield of the Stands
This attack was gigantic it was almost comparable not superior to the attacks that Twilight could do with the help of the Magic of the Princesses against Tirek, but despite being so big it was a waste, Marcus Seeing that the attack would only destroy the floor and not He will hurt no one he simply jumped at it, with an indisputable force he completely left the range of the attack, dodging the huge attack with so little effort but while he looked down at that destructive Magic that was under his feet a shadow appeared over him, when he turned his looking up there was Astor with all his Swords raised up, they all fell like guillotines towards Marcus's head
""! This time I'm going to kill you!"", with a macabre smile
He quickly changed his grip taking the handle with the back of the handle, he placed the sword horizontally and supported his left forearms against the groove of the sword, Astor's Swords hit Marcus's groove causing him to hit his head and was thrown powerfully. downward also one of Astor's Swords opened a large gash near Marcus's left eye and blood was pouring from his wound entering Marcus's eye, Astor plummeted and launched small attacks of Magic equal to golden balls, seeing those things somewhat blurred but with harmful purposes approaching him, Marcus With only one eye open, when they were close to him, the sound of the wind was cut off.
The Golden balls exploded but that was not a good thing, his entire field of vision was obstructed by the exploitations, with his senses on full alert Marcus was plummeting, finally something appeared from the left side of the debris of the explosions, Astor emerged With his 10 Swords throwing himself into a lunge against him, he again changed his grip as fast as he could and with both arms he protected himself from the attack, the blow again hit the groove making Marcus descend faster than he expected, Astor with the swords exercising Pressing against Marcus's Groove, Astor glided into the air from the dive taking his enemy to the ground, Marcus's full back crawled across the ground, as Marcus's pain-filled face formed
""! I have you!""
Marcus's pain-filled face turned into a mocking smile.
""! You are very easy to provoke!""
In the groove the tips of Astor's 10 swords were exerting pressure and little by little the metal began to bend, but this was perfect, replicating the movement of the previous time, he bent his waist to the right taking his hands with it, but This time, he let his sword be carried along with the other 10. The 11 swords were embedded in the ground, using it as he braked, Marcus brought his knees to his chest, remaining at the level of Astor's stomach, when they both fell from the other, their knees were They smashed into that squishy part, this time Astor was on the ground and Marcus was on him holding his sword with the back of his helmet
""! Something I Learned From Your Ex!"",with his free Helmet resting on Astor's chest
With this said Marcus stood up raising his sword with the tip almost reaching his shoulder blade, seeing this Astor raised all his Swords from the ground to defend himself, Marcus's attack started along with millions of sounds of the air being cut, it was like a machine gun, finally the attacks stopped and in his place was Marcus with his sword, the 10 Blue Swords of Astor and the aurora were broken into millions of pieces.
Marcus changed his grip again and brought his arm back with the tip of the weapon pointed at Astor's face, seeing this he placed his only Swords, the two that he held in front of him as an X, the attack descended and the metal of his two swords narrowly saved him as incredibly, Marcus's Sword had pierced the center of the two Swords and its tip was almost touching his snout
Taking advantage of the position of his sword, held in the handle with both helmets, he took his sword from inside the other two and gave an attack directed at the neck of the Alicorn, Astor looked at the sword as if he knew where it was going and suddenly smiled as his horn It lit up, and the Sword collapsed in brilliance, Marcus remembered something important, that Sword was not real, it was Astor's and he could disappear it whenever he wanted, and this was the moment
""! You are not the only one who learned from her, I'll give you back what was before!"",turning sideways against the ground
Astor's right helmet shot towards Marcus embedding itself in his stomach, seeing this Marcus tried to reinforce his body as much as he could but his defense was easily penetrated, as he thought he was weakening very fast, he fell to his knees holding his stomach, also Little by little the pain in his back from being dragged by the ground intensified, in addition to that he had to clean his left eye with this opportunity Astor took both swords with a different grip from the back of his helmet and stuck them in the ground. using them as support he was able to stand up when he did this his horn was lit, Astor fired a Magic attack towards the Pony
Marcus removed his hands from his stomach and placed them in X at the height of his chest where the attack struck, the impulse of the attack began to drag Marcus in reverse, his arms burned, if this continued it would end very badly for him, it should end With that attack now, the X that he used as defense began to open little by little and Marcus's body stopped falling back nailed in place, finally the attack gave way and the arms that formed the X opened destroying the Magic attack leaving a Golden flash, Astor instantly appeared in front of Marcus but this did not surprise him Marcus pulled his head away before Astor's blades closed like a scissor on his neck
Bouncing backwards he flew away from his adversary but before his helmet hit the ground, a golden circle lit up below him and a Magic Attack shot upward toward him, colliding with his legs and exploding, again a large Smoke screen formed and Marcus fell to the ground rolling but managed to maintain his composure and after the third lap, his helmets clung to the ground stopping by inertia
""Well that worked!," Cracking his neck" , I thought you would dodge it but I see that, your Condition is Finally Playing Against you, it was time! Your Technique, Reflexes are the same as always but your Power and Resistance have decreased later 4 years old,! Your Current Power Cannot Support Your Skills and Little by Little You Weaken until I Cannot More, I just needed to resist long enough,! You made me sweat but finally it was Time, with this last I will be able defeat yourself, and without your sword you have no defense or attack! You are finished!""
Astor lunged at Marcus with a direct thrust to his head but never hit the target, Marcus dodged that attack by moving his head to the Left accompanied by a monstrous Right Hook aimed at Astor's jaw.
""! Don't underestimate me!"", Whith serious Look
The left hand hit Astor's Jaw, Marcus's arm continued its course upward in a cross direction leaving Astor's body spinning like a circle, but something was wrong as the place where the hit landed was now a gap of golden glitter
He was not sure but Marcus would swear he saw a smile between all those turns, it was then that he saw an enzyme shadow of him, without looking at what could be jumped back and someone fell in the place where he was before, but next to this a A flurry of attacks followed him, Marcus made a counter step, throwing himself to the Left, narrowly dodging the attack, even dodging it, he had suffered several cuts on its surface and now his white fur was stained in Red, when he looked in front the one there was Astor, next to him was the Astor that spun like a top, corrected his body with his wings and stopped standing with his 4 legs.
As Marcus had noticed the place where he had landed his blow was a crater in the Alicorn's face from which Golden Sand fell, many in the stands were surprised
""¡Heee! ¿Now there are Two?"",placing his helmet over his eyes
""That's Unfair, that Pony is a Cheater !, Attack someone Unarmed!""
¿Copies? ... It was no longer open, probably Clones
The two Astors smiled and launched the attack, both attacked head-on with their Left Swords raised and planned to drop them on Marcus's head, confident that by not carrying a weapon it would no longer be a danger but he did not need it to face them, he raised his Two helmets stopping the Alicorn attacks in their tracks by squeezing their wrists, even though this surprised both, they continued with their attack and launched in synchronization with their Right Sword, seeking to detach the legs from the body, Marcus released both wrists and let himself fall to the ground, He placed his two front hooves on the ground, while the two Swords passed over him, followed by this he raised his hind legs, just like Applejack and like a compressed spring he stretched them, hitting his chest, making his opponents fall back.
He loosened his arms, hid his head letting his shoulders fall on the ground, he turned on the ground and by his own impulse managed to stand, but when he looked at his opponents, from his Right Blind Spot someone else appeared and he could not react to time, his cheek received a powerful kick, allowing himself to be carried away by the momentum Marcus turned twice and almost lost his balance but managed to keep, mientras limpiaba su ojo
!A Third Clone! 3v1 this won't be easy with my current state¡
The three of them were together, 2 Down and 1 Up, their shields were activated, each one carried 2 swords in each helmet and two were levitated on their two shoulders, with this in mind Marcus took a different pose than the one he used with the sword, his leg left he went back with the tip of his hoof pointing to the left and with his knee bent, his right leg stretched forward with his whole hips brought to the left, with his left hoof brought up to his hip with his elbow back and his Helmet Right at the height of his Mouth,
However, no one moved the Astor to the right, he nailed his sword, held the wizard with his helmet and looked at Marcus with a smile.
"" You know after finishing and recovering the throne, I mean my throne, maybe I will set my destiny in something much bigger the throne of Equestria, after all the bounty roams I am the most powerful Alicorio of all, the Naraja Pony and the Gradas, the Violet next to the white and blue they will be the demonstration of my power and as such being able to share my power to all the avitates of Equestria should be a luxury for them ""
Suddenly the Astor on the Left took the floor
"" I want my legacy to be eternal forever that when everyone reads the books they see my fall and my rise, I want my true children to feel pride in carrying my blood in their veins ""
And finally I touch the Astor in the middle
"I do not intend to leave this world without demonstrating my great Glory, not as a boring old man begging in the garbage but as the most powerful Alicorn that Equestria played, I Astor Besedowsky will be immortalized forever" "
However, his speech was silenced by his adversary
""! When you are going to shut up, I am not interested in your future plans, you hurt people I loved, I will make you pay for what you did, garbage! "" In his eyes you could notice a huge flame of fury
The 3 Alicorns flew towards him attacking him simultaneously.
The course of the battle was not a novelty with Marcus's condition his disadvantage was obvious but even so he managed to keep up with the 3 Astors that attacked him from Left, Right and Behind, Dodge Reflect and Attack or Counter with their Helmets was Everything he managed to do but it was effective against those enemies, he used his helmets to reflect the Swords as best he could. Sometimes they left cuts on his arms but he did not feel them thanks to the adrenaline and stamina of the moment, thanks to this he did not feel any of the small wounds that his entire body had, both his Chest, Back, Sides, Arms, Legs, Shoulders, and Face were full of scars
His white hair was stained with Red and Earth but even so he continued ahead in his 3 vs 1 battle, Astor was not far behind, Swords, Magic and Flight were his main weapons to this his clones were added, Astor flanked and he attacked the blind spots, and his teamwork was perfect. The 4 warriors Ivan from here to there, Attacking, Defending, Hitting each other, all the spectators watched their combat with their mouths and eyes wide open as if they did not understand that what they saw was real, even the students were surprised. Sullivan looked at Marcus with an impressed expression, in the Show of Power it had been clear that he knew something about combat but Marcus Anderson the Pony who formerly claimed to be the strongest Elite Knight in all of Equestria, who had only 4 years retired was fighting in front of him, si duda estaa mas que absorvido
What was this Earth Pony Layers of, ¿4 years ago?
In the combat arena the clash of metal was heard when everyone had stopped Marcus was in the middle at his sides were Two Astors, The Swords that had sounded were theirs Two that had collided in front of Marcus's chest, deflected by the crossed Earth Pony hooves causing them to collide in the Center, before they can use their other Swords Marcus stretched both Helmets and hitting each one in the cheek face of the two Astors causing them to recoil
Marcus jumped hard and with the momentum of the Jump he brought his knees to his chest spinning in the air counterclockwise, under him now he was almost at the level of the tendons of his knees, two swords passed like lightning and below Marcus was the third clone who looked over him at his adversary who had dodged his surprise attack, Marcus made a complete turn in the air and in the middle of the second, he opened his body, remaining in a Vertical way and by The inertia of the turns followed its trajectory, as a soccer player Marcus placed his Left leg on the ground and brought his Right leg as far back as he could aiming at the Alicorn's head, the kick hit the Astor's face, throwing him to one side .
But before he could turn around, he was attacked by Astor from behind him after teleporting, this time the attack was successful the two swords ran diagonally across Marcus's back
""! Hgeehaagg¡""
Marcus carried his helmet on his back and tried to keep distance but in front of him a flash seemed to appear, it was the Astor clone that flew up to him with its illuminated horn and fired a Magic attack that hit Marcus's chest, taking him by the momentum towards back, Marcus sculpted saliva from the impact but Marcus's savage Institutes screamed and that certainly spelled danger luckily for the dazzling the glint of the Sword out of the corner of his eye with that was enough to know it was an attack to decapitate him
With the little balance he had in a second Marcus turned his body facing the attack of another Clone that was flying towards him, supported his hooves on the Ground Left in front and Right Back and dodged by taking his head to the Left, while the sharp blades passed close to his face, accompanying the direction of the swords with his Right Helmet, with Astor's Face uncovered, Impulse was directing an attack with his Left helmet at the Astor in front of him, but something strange happened his Left foot He was swept back, ripping his helmet off the ground, unbalancing the Pony so his Blow never reached Astor, when he looked at what it had been, he saw a small hill of earth shaped like a ledge surrounded by a Golden Aura that was now moving towards his Right foot, he tried to jump but could not, when he looked at his right foot it was trapped by the earth that with a Golden Aura surrounds a large part of the Pesuña, somehow the Astor that he used his head As a soccer ball he used his Magic to ruin his balance
The ledge collided with his trapped Leg twisting it causing a horrendous pain,
""¡HEEEEAAAAAAA!""
The clone took advantage of this and gave a powerful elbow in Marcus's esophagus, lifting his body off the ground, turned taking advantage of his short distance and attacked Marcus in a Diagonal way with his two Swords, leaving two cuts in his chest with this he already had 6 Critical Hits in the battle, two on his Side, two on his Back and two on his chest, the attack caused him to fall to the ground looking at the sky, he saw Astor raise his Sword and descend towards him with the tip trying to cross his face, his body reflexively. Turning to the Right, the Swords Dug into the ground, he placed his two helmets on the ground with which he crawled Downward away from the Clone.
The Clone saw this and chased him, launched two attacks in a row directed at Marcus's head and dodged them by throwing his head desperately to the side, the Clone stopped floating touching the ground for the first time in combat, Then something was spent on the Sky next to Marcus, another Astor this one had his back to the Pony with his hind legs raised, this movement made Marcus open his eyes who was placed on his Side crossing his arms, The two powerful helmets hit his hands lifting him off the ground.
For 3 seconds he was in the air and fell crawling on the ground putting all his weight on the left leg but from behind the inside of his left knee was stepped down hitting the knee cap which made the Pony scream.
""! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA¡""
He looked back and another Astor had his knee caught with his Right leg, raising a Blue Sword he was in the air, again he was trying to decapitate him, but the fact of having his knee caught on the floor came to him wonderfully, when the sword descended to take his head, Marcus leaned on the ground turning to his side and used his released Right leg to kick the kneecap of the Clone's leg causing him to fall to the ground and freeing himself, he turned on the ground while the Blue Sword cut the ground
But when he got up with difficulty due to the pain in his Right Leg he found another Astor who had his two Swords descending towards his two shoulders, with how close he was he would not get to catch his wrists, so he placed his two sore forearms to cover himself and avoid at worst that his limbs were amputated, but this was not better either since, however small the two swords were embedded in his arms and shoulders, those of his arms or shoulders were not deep but it certainly hurt, he gritted his teeth To avoid letting out a cry of pain, while his eyes threatened to close, he looked at his shoulders covered in blood, he looked at the Clone of Astor that he carried with a Macabre smile
""¡You're going to die here!""
This smile gave him a disgusting taste and brought back the memory of someone who smiled in the same way when he thought of that person. For Reflection he looked at the stands and his mind panicked.
It has been a long time since he felt panic, few times he wanted to remember this, a house surrounded by ponies dressed in armor among them was he without all the facial beauty of that time, at the door of that house There was an earthly Pony, crying while covering with his arms to his little Daughter, who was also crying, he remembered that in front of the Pony There were three People, one was the origin of that smile An ape who wore armor with that same smile on his face would never forget Connor's face
The other person was the one who would later become his greatest threat during his time as Rebel Chitoge and then there was the one who spawned the entire current conflict, the King of Pegasus Arnol Besedowsky, who looked on rejoicing in the fear of the little girl, suddenly he looked towards the soldiers who carried the halberds and pointed to him and his mouth pronounced the words that would make both the little one and him panic, the face of fear and fear of the little Pony would never disappear from his memories even after what The King I force him to do that Potrilla
Now that she was looking at the stands the little Shiva was crying wanting to let go of Chitoge, and her face was the same as the little one in those times. Something inside him Awoke something that he was asleep during his entire fight with Astor fury gnawed at him for the First time after so long
Suddenly a sound came to Astor's ears
¿What is that sound?
Something familiar to him, despite the distance between them and the stands, if any of them heard it, they would also recognize it, it was the sound of exhaling air from the lungs
Despite having his forearms shattered, he forced them to keep on trying, just like Wilson, the muscles of Marcus's legs began to mark and little by little the Swords of Astor came out of the wounds on His Shoulders, the printing on the face of Astor it was exaggerated.
""! Impossible!""
When the Swords were ejected from their Shoulders Marcus extended two Helmets backwards, the handles of the Clone Swords were ripped from their Helmets, the Swords embedded in their Arms fell to the ground, Marcus caught the Clone's wrists and as if he were pulling A rope brought both arms down and connected a knee against the Clone's jaw, for Poco and he falls to the ground if not for Marcus holding him by the neck with his Right Helmet, he turned around still holding the Clone's throat as he thought waiting to attack his Blind Spot was another Clone about to launch a Lunge but now the one in front of Marcus was the other Clone and his Chest was pierced by the Sword of his comrade.
¡HOOOOOOGGGGGG!
He let out a little blood but it was more like a Golden liquid, with the Sword trapped in the Clone Marcus pushed him out of his way and launched a Right Hand that connected with the jaw of the Second Clone with such force that it took him off the ground spinning like a Trunk before falling to the ground, I take the handle of the Sword and tear it from the Body of the Clone letting it fall to the ground
He turned his body to the Right facing another Astor that tried to attack him with his Right Sword diagonally, but before the sword reached Marcus he deflected it covering himself with his sword, Astor returned to attack with his Left Sword that was repelled With his left helmet, he attacked in descending form and was blocked by the edge of Marcus's sword, he threw a thrust with his left sword and was Blocked again by the sword, Face to Face Astor's Horn lit up but Marcus deflected his sword crossing it to his Left, hitting the Horn with the polish to the left before the Magic was expelled, throwing himself to the other side
Astor received an elbow to the nose that made him recoil using his wings, Marcus looked over his shoulder as his senses alarmed him of imminent danger the place where Marcus was was bombarded by several attacks of gray balls was another of the Clones of Astor, the smoke that raised the bombardment was dispersed when a blast traveled at full speed towards the Clone surprising him, it was Marcus, he again attacked with his Magic attacks but this before they even approached Marcus they were cut into pieces, reaching the Clone, Marcus stretched his Left Helmet and hit the stomach of the Clone throwing it away which by default launched an attack towards Marcus, which was stopped or better said easily deflected, the Earthly Pony brought his Sword up from his head that stopped another attack that It came from an enzyme clone of him with his two swords
With the edge caught Marcus deflected his Sword downwards towards the ground as the Clone fell down holding the wings with his left helmet taking away the opportunity to escape, followed by an attack from Marcus which was aimed at beheading the Clone but before striking the hit, the Sword shone and disappeared, while his hooves passed in front of the face of the Clone, who took advantage of this and punched Marcus on the cheek, but the impact did not stop Marcus and with the helmet on his cheek, Marcus slid his face through the Clone's Arm and releasing the wing I delivered a blow to the Clone's cheek leaving him on the ground, only to disappear in a Gold powder, he had seen this before so he turned around, and there are the three Astors, with heavy breaths
""! Somehow You've Gotten Stronger!,"moving his jaw ", I thought you couldn't bear them against three but you're wearing it better than I would like""
The three of them were standing side by side and the real Astor was the one in the middle who had a worried face.
What the hell was that! Why is he still standing? His Strength, Speed and Endurance increased, before he could barely do something to myself Now I can hardly stand, This is Bad!
Unlike the other times where he responded with sarcasm or with the intention of provoking him, now Marcus did not say anything, he only looked at him with a face that would be a disinterested grimace and an angry look
""! So now you don't speak! Hee!,"looking at his clones who were already standing", That means you are serious in that case me too, I really would rather end this fight one time, I did not intend to use this so early but! It's Better to Leave Everything Here!""
With this said, Astor's 3 horns lit up, they charged for a while staying like this, until above Astor's horn a Golden ray with Blue details shot out 10 centimeters from his head where the other two rays also joined. of the clones while a large amount of energy gathered, forming a giant circle that attack resembled the previous one with the swords that equaled the power of the four Princesses together but this one undoubtedly surpassed it
! With this I will erase you Completely,"while his eyes lit up a blue color", with you off the map I will create a better world for me, and if you find out what I will do with Chitoge and that brat, each king needs fortune, I will use them two as my favorite prostitutes and they me they will return that fortune that you took from me and I may take the little girl as her first time, she asked me how open I will leave her
With this said the attack was launched the attack contained so much power that behind Astor and his clones a wall of dirt and debris formed, far exceeding and leaving Marcus as if he were David and Goliath in terms of height, this time the floor gave way again and turned to dust to make room for the attack, Marcus should dodge that but was instead standing in front of the huge attack waiting for him, esto sin duda asusto a todos los espectadores
"" What are you doing? Move it is going to kill you! "", With a remarkable look on his face
""! Someone to Stop that Lunatic, Will Kill Him! ""
The spectators began to panic and shouted for him to hear them but only one was the one who reached their ears, the cry of his well-known companion
""! MARCUUUUUUUS¡""
Marcus took his combat position and when the attack was about to collide Marcus threw his sword against the attack, the crash happened and then a kind of vortex opened, rather it looked like a portal that moved as if it were a hurricane, the attack Astor was barely moving from there but was being absorbed by the vortex, the vortex affected everything around him since from the stands it seemed as if the place where he was was as if everything was moving as in the calm waters of the sea
""¿What Are You Doing?"", was what everyone's face reflected seeing
Inside the Vortex was Marcus while Silver light came from his body, Marcus's hair floated as if it were in water and his eyes were closed, his whole body reflected that Silver light that emerged from his entire body, his cheeks , Helmets, Chest, Legs, Back, Side, Face until finally he opened his eyes and his iris was no longer blue but Silver
In an instant Astor's massive attack absorbed by the vortex and the light impressed, but it was not an exploration but a flash that was reduced until only someone was left in the Center and no one believed that it was Marcus since that of there did not look like to a Pony, some features could still be seen but it was definitely something different
Twilight looked at that being covered by a Silver light that little by little stood up, instantly she understood why Marcus stood with only two legs, The body of that new being from where she could see was of great stature, taking away Astor, who was an Alicorn, his strong position of someone of high stature, that body unlike when he was standing being a Pony that was completely uncomfortable now was perfect for how he was, his body was much wider than before with a much wider back Long, there were no more hooves on her front legs but her hands were skinnier, only her back legs still had hooves, but her legs were no longer those of a Pony
Twilight remembered when she traveled by accident to the other Dimension of Equestria and saw the Face of Sunset Shimmer when she was transformed by the act of Magic she looked like a hybrid into her dimension and theirs now Marcus seemed to be a Hybrid of that style
Twilight immediately recognized they were hands with 5 fingers on each one, even though it looked like a transformation she knew in advance that it was actually that, Marcus's transformation body was robust and Solid with some muscles in that body, The only thing that covered her waist was a small old and worn Blue Short Jean while her waist was not wearing anything, her face was not very different from when she was a Pony, her yellow hair was long and tousled, her eyes were not blue but Silver but there was something very different in this form, since from his chest to his shoulder passing over where his heart was diagonally a huge scar was there making an appearance, upon seeing this someone in the Stands made a sound and a lamenting grimace which was heard by Twilight when looking where that person was coming from was Chitoge.
Astor and his clones were surprised his attack had disappeared and now Marcus had transformed this was not the result he wanted
""¡¿What ... What is That?! !A Transformation!,"watching Marcus transform ", I haven't seen that kind of transformation in my whole life. ¿What has happened to you?""
But regardless of the murmurs of the people and Astor's look of hatred in front of him Marcus was in complete calm, he looked at his hands and his body closed and opened his two fists, without a doubt he understood his transformation and although that was a last method that transformation was not the real one it was a copy something made superficially and it was a matter of time before it disappears, when the magic that kept from the attack disappears this is over now and gave one last look at Chitoge who noticed it and jumped over, looked at Astor who was still trying to understand what was going on
""! I don't know what you did¡, ¡but you won't intimidate me!,"getting into battle position while his two clones were in front of him", Even with that transformation you don't carry a horn or wings, so you are only and continue to be inferior to me!""
Even so, Astor's comments did not matter at all and he brought his left and right hands to his hips and closed his fists leaving a circle inside, when he discovered them in his right hand he had a sword like a katana with a serrated edge like a It closes in a blue color while inside the sword it looked as if a lot of storm rays lived there, the same happened with the left hand where there was only a military combat knife taken with the back of the palm of hand both weapons were in each hand, and he took a simple fighting stance placing his right foot back with the point pointing to the right
Meanwhile Astor and his Clones Illuminated their Horns with a Golden Aura, The Shields, The Halo, the swords surrounding his body and levitating around him appeared, as they floated close to the ground with a total of 51 Swords in your possession
The atmosphere was calm and the 3 Astors in combat position while Marcus just looked at them finally moved taking his foot Right from Back to Forward
¡That Transformation is nothing Even So !, all his wounds...
When looking at Marcus's body in addition to the horrible scar on his body, all the wounds and Slashes were gone
! His Wounds are gone ¡
in just that simple movement Marcus disappeared and the next second a sused scan on the ground as in Sonia's run, And Marcus appeared behind Astor who was still looking ahead and before they could react Weapons and Shields were smashed into pieces as the wall of earth behind them was smashed in the same way as their Aurora and even a Great Slash was thrown on the cheeks of the 3 Astors, all three surprised. They turned, Marcus had passed by and now He was heading towards them at full speed, without thinking twice they joined their Horns in the destroying Magic attack while Marcus was a few steps away from them, while Astor's sweat-filled face stared at him as if he could see him in slow motion heading towards him.
""¡FIREEEEEEEEEEEEE!"",with nerves in her voice
The colossal shot came out forming a new wall of Earth out of the ground, but this time Marcus turned in circles and when his attack hit Marcus was split in half, suddenly Marcus came out to one side of the attack to Astor's surprise he stopped turning and he pushed himself towards them, embedding the three Alicorns against the wall of Earth, both clones at his sides had been pierced in the chest with his two Weapons while the True one received a knee in his stomach, from which not even a sound of pain could come out of his mouth, Both clones turned to golden dust and this enraged Astor made two Swords appear in their hooves he tried to catch Marcus as if he were a scissors
But Marcus's legs used Astor's body as a foothold, jumping and dodging his attack, when he fell down he surrounded Astor's body with attacks that destroyed his swords and a new shield that he had formed, Marcus turned several times vertically and He launched an attack with his katana, seeing this Astor protected himself with a shield that upon receiving the impact took him out flying and fell rolling on the ground
While this was happening the viewers were dumbfounded and even someone was really shocked.
That was Extremely Fast,"with her mouth open", ¿I couldn't even see it! Did she manage to see it?
When looking at Sonia her eyes widened when she saw that she was just as lost
Astor managed to stand up with many difficulties those blows now were nothing compared to those of before, his whole body was tense and sore, he had made an attack that he never managed to see or his magical instincts warned him, he removed his blood from his cheek and clenched his two teeth, his body was surrounded by a bluish golden Aura, there was a flash, Astor was covered by a new Shield while above his head was a new aurora that gave him extra magic which formed a Blue aura and his other 15 blue swords around him,
""I can still conjure all my weapons instantly, I'm more Skillful than you think, ¡Don't underestimate me!"",with a intimidated face
As Astor once again floated on his wings, Marcus's face remained serious and completely focused which made Astor's blood run cold.
""! You don't even think that by transforming yourself now you have more power than me!"", with eyes full of hatred
And he launched the attack, against the new Marcus, he launched two crossed attacks towards him, first his Right leg and then the Left, Marcus without moving his body much to Right to Left he dodged both attacks, followed by his cross attacks he followed the momentum and He turned his back on Marcus as the three blue swords descended on Marcus but using his left hand with his knife forming an infinity sign he struck the tips of each sword away from the combat radius, seeing that that attack did not work Astor turned around and He dropped his two swords but before they descended, Marcus was gone, but turned to the Right, turning his back to Astor as the two swords fell to the ground.
He took another turn with his left while without the slightest effort Marcus dropped his waist down while behind him a flash appeared and a second later Astor came out only to see Marcus below him, with this Astor hit the ground and gave a second turn trying to cut Marcus's chest but this only threw his body back making a vertical turn and away from Astor who flew furiously against him, charge using his 5 swords but it did not work either, with a sword in hand and a knife in the other as if he was juggling with his hands Marcus reflected all the attacks without the slightest effort, Left, Right, Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal, Double Attacks, Triple Attacks, Multiple all were dodged by Marcus's quick reflexes
Astor launched an attack with his Right trying to decapitate Marcus but this was stopped by Marcus's Sword simply stretching his hand and leaving his Sword like a wall, with the attack stopped Marcus spun on his axis with incredible speed and hit Astor with a left kick on his stomach, breaking his Body Shield again causing him to recoil with a wince of pain, when Astor regained his air he used his aurora to replace another shield and rose into the air while his horn was surrounded by a Golden Aura, 3 Blue Swords rose while at the tip of its horn a bright sphere formed, One of the 3 Swords was placed in front of the Sphere and the other two at the sides, it was another Magic attack of the heavy.
The blue of the sword shone and the other swords closed, clashing the tips between the three and the Magic attack shot out targeting Marcus, who was standing there, with a quick movement with his left hand he threw his knife into the air and opened his five fingers in front of the magic attack and a shiny Silver sphere formed and lunged at the Alicorn attack and like a train struck the attack and completely shattered it, surprising Astor
!¿Can you now use Magic?!
His headache only made him do one thing
"" ! FOR FOUR YEARS, FOUR YEARS I HAVE ETREATED FOR THIS DAY YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT I SUFFERED AND SACRIFIED ¡""
However Marcus' response was a finger pointed at the ground
""Attack at once Trash"" , his face reflected total seriousness
He looked at Marcus from above while catching his falling knife and decided to dive against him, what was not expected was that Marcus would also launch himself against him and arrive much faster, Astor would reflexively use his two swords as defense but the blow of The sword arrived faster returning him to the ground where he planned to land forcibly only to find Marcus in front of him, this time the one who attacked was not Astor but Marcus and his attacks were no longer the same they were super fast and confusing for the Alicorn. which he could not see any, most of his 15 swords had already been destroyed, he only managed to defend himself thanks to his instincts but even they failed him,
A knee from Marcus's left leg connected with his stomach, breaking his shield again, as he bent he found himself head-on with the knuckles of the Left hand that hit his Osico taking away his extra Magic aurora, and followed by a Right kick on him. To the side of Astor's face, the jagged-edged Sword rose into the air past Marcus's shoulder and fell on Astor's X-shaped bumper, shattering it, causing Astor to recoil and his horn lit up with an Aura. Golden and launched lots of Magic attacks at Marcus, the first 7 attacks were cut into pieces and then he fell back spinning vertically on the ground and dodging all the attacks that followed him, he stopped doing cartwheels and just moved from side to side , with an incredible handling of legs and avoiding With the slightest effort all the attacks that approached him.
The attacks kept going for him but he dodged them without much effort at last Marcus gave a powerful jump circling in the air confusing the Magic attacks which collided with each other and exploded while Marcus fell to the ground and headed with great speed towards Astor, and for the first time Astor tried to keep the distance he summoned lots of blue swords they should be more than 50 and threw them head-on against Marcus but again he dodged them without problem, the only one that approached was the last one but it was cut in half by the knife
He raised the point of his sword and when he arrived with Astor he attacked him with a thrust that was again stopped by Astor's X defense, They both rushed to the attack and Astor's Right sword collided with Marcus's left knife, again Marcus took the initiative and first attacked an Astor who still couldn't fully defend himself despite having an extra Magic aurora, a Shield and the Blue swords on his side, all of them were completely useless, this time he could only cover himself with 5 Swords while the attacks like machine gun fell on him one of the blows of the machine gun disrupted his defense sending him backwards, in fury Astor took flight upwards and descended with a Right attack that was blocked by Marcus's Sword while the Alicorn was still in the air
The gazes of both collided, Astor's furious gaze with Marcus's calm and would be, some words came out of Marcus's vocal cords that almost made Astor fly into a rage, Marcus's serrated sword broke the shock sending Astor to a side who braked using his feet and launched himself at Marcus tried to drop a double attack on his head but was dodged with a movement to the left and returned with a right elbow to the face that made Astor turn, giving his back to Marcus Who He turned and took another left stop on her pulling him away, shoving Astor a few meters away when the Desperate Alicorn turned and found himself face to face withMarcus's Silver eyes, he noticed a gleam in them and only observed the next quick movements of the Transformed Earth Pony that was now undoubtedly much stronger than the beast he faced in the beginning.
Marcus threw his sword and knife into the air and clasped his two hands in the center of his chest with his clenched fist resting on the palm of his open hand, he directed the sharp tip of his right elbow into Astor's esophagus and impacted against Astor's body. Alicorn releasing an incredible expansive sling and a thunderous sound was heard throughout the battlefield, the impact left the place in silence, and everyone saw the two opponents in the middle of the combat zone still without moving a muscle, from the body of Astor pieces of Gold and Blue Magic fell like snow to the ground, The Shield and the Aurora were destroyed followed by the Swords turned to Blue dust, Astor's horn went out and his wings were down, Marcus's two weapons fell from the air and They were nailed to the ground, in X Marcus heard that sound and he moved away from the immobilized Astor who soon lost his strength and fell forward but did not fall apart since Marcus's Right hand caught him in the air and left him. or gently on the ground they are not before saying a word to the air almost soundless at the end of this sentence the eyes and Astor's consciousness vanished, the winner was Marcus
Everyone's faces were more than impressed, Rainbow Dash herself and Sullivan couldn't stop taking their eyes off the Pony in front of their eyes.
¡H-Holy Shit!
It was their passing, she just couldn't stop having her eyes open
I-'i never see anyone as incredible as this guy
It was what Rainbow Dash weighed as her body stopped shaking.
Amazing, Amazing, ¡Simply Amazing!
It was what Sullivan couldn't stop repeating in his head
From the stands Twilight watched the end of the battle and a word passed through her mind "the 7 legends of Winderland" having seen only 4 in action made her understand who they really were and their meaning, the 7 legends were beings capable of surpassing the limit and the natural order of things, an incalculable speed, an immeasurable force hidden by a deceptive body, an unequaled Magical power combined with a learning method at the level of a genius, and an Earth Pony with the combat level to surpass an Alicorn in all its aspects, they were the champions Of Winderland
